I've never lost a fish to a seal or sea lion, but was on a boat at Tillamook a few years ago when a friend lost a 30-pound king to one. Incidentally, there's been a pod of transient killer whales in Hood Canal for several weeks, the kind that eat marine mammals, and state biologists are now estimating they might have eaten as many as 800 harbor seals since they arrived. Last confirmed sighting of the pod was Valentine's Day.
